Only The Name Remains

Stolen from the Kerry Spot:

THE BRILLIANCE OF THIS STRATEGY ELUDES ME [10/28 03:42 PM]

AP:

"When the Bay of Pigs went sour, John Kennedy had the courage to look America in the eye and say, `I take responsibility, it's my fault," Kerry said, referring to a bungled invasion of Cuba in 1961. "John Kennedy knew how to take responsibility for the mistakes he made and Mr. President, it's long since time for you to start taking responsibility for the mistakes you made."

"You know, mistakes like reminding the Cuban-American community of why they hate the Democratic Party, just five days before an election in which I have staked almost everything on winning in Florida. Mistakes like comparing the popular successful overthrow of Saddam Hussein to a failed coup attempt in Cuba more than forty years ago. Mistakes like that."

Remember "The Greatest Intelligence Failure In History"? (Don't worry the answer is coming soon to a post near you...)

It's all right, I'll wait while you read it. It's short.

Well, the President that's the correct answer is amazingly NOT Kennedy (another big hint for you needless to say). But letting the Russians get as close as they did to seriously operational nukes in Cuba is definitely on the short list of contestants. And I do mean the SHORT list. And the Bay of Pigs as well as the near holocaust of the Cuban Missile Crisis were part of the legacy of one of the best Dem presidents of all time. (Surely I have your guessing compass oriented in the right direction by now?)

On the other hand, Caroline Kennedy's blather notwithstanding, the real J.F.K. was actually a liberal in the best classical tradition of the word -- modulo the Daley machine and a long list of other egregious issues of course.

He was the last outpost of sanity before the Democratic Party was co-opted by the loony left. Kennedy was for spreading Democracy, for staring down communists, for tax cuts, for going to the stars, for bearing any burden ... in short, he was heavily aligned with Ronald Reagan and W!

John Kerry is NOT for spreading Democracy -- in Vietnam, Iraq, Central America or anywhere else I am sad to inform you.

If we lived in a rational world and the lawyers weren't one of the cores of the Democratic Party -- the modern Democrats could be soundly convicted in a trial for fraudulent misrepresentation of goods.

Only the name remains without the brains.

That a boy John! Way to win Florida!
